Israeli policies 'breed violence'

All the claims by both sides in this latest Israeli-Hamas conflict are probably getting people confused about the reasons for the violence.

If people are treated like animals with no running water, no wastewater treatment, no electricity for more than two hours a day and a fence around their land and checkpoints with soldiers asking for identification, it tends to breed violence.

As we try to get a two-state solution, the Israelis are building even more settlements on Palestinian land that is a direct violation of U.N. resolutions. If the American public would like the truth on this conflict, I suggest people go to a website, jewishvoiceforpeace.org, that gets the truth out to the world. Just remember our tax dollars are making this carnage possible.
